At times our society is faced with a merge between social injustices and political rights in sports. Sports allows us to look within and gain awareness with inequalities we have regarding race, gender, or religion. We have seen the historic images: Jackie Robinson being the first Black man called up to play in Major League Baseball, Jessie Owens dominating Track & Field at the Berlin Olympic Games, or Billie Jean King dominance in Tennis. However, those actions were not enacted by our government. There was a lack of opportunity given to a large faction in our nation, where fifty-one percent of our population was not allowed to participate in competitive sports activities inter-collegiately. Imagine telling a child they cannot participate, even though they are skilled, love the game, and all because they were a girl no a woman. Listen in this Saturday from 11am - 12pm PST to hear the impact regarding physical activity not only in sports but also in fitness and exercise for women.
